I've had the opportunity to listen to high end B&W, martin login, def tec, Elac, KEF, and a few others in a carefully setup listening room. I'm happy to say nothing compared to the 100's in my terrible listening room, except for one pair of speakers, the B&W 800 diamond series... those were the best, unfortunately for me, they cost 15k per speaker.

Lots of speakers from many
manufactures...mostly Axiom
